Cades Cove and stuff

Last weekend Bill and I went to a place in the Smoky Mountains called Cade's Cove. It was so beautiful! The leaves were starting to change...the only problem was all of the people. It's tourist season here in East Tennessee, so everybody and their brother are headed to the Smokies. Here are a few pictures of our adventure










































This is a water chute..I thought the angle looked really neat!















Also, yesterday, Bill's good friend, Eric, left for boot camp. He joined the Army, and when he's done with boot camp he'll be in the Army Band (which is what Bill's going to do when he graduates). We got to spend a little time with Eric the night before, but we're really going to miss him!















We made him some brownies!















One more update! Monday Bill and I spoiled ourselves... For starters Bill took me to the most AMAZING place in the world. KRISPY KREME. I love this place, I never get it unless we get special gifts from my family. My grandma sent me five dollars to spend at Krispy Kreme, so we did just that!!




















My parents gave us a gift card for Olive Garden, so after our Krispy Kreme stop we went to Olive Garden. (We saved the doughnuts for dessert). We feasted on never ending soup and salad and seriously when finished we were sooo stuffed!!!!! It was very very yummy!!!






































Bill found something that looks really good! I think it was some kind of chocolate dessert...but remember we have doughnuts waiting for us!!!!!!!

We have enjoyed our little breaks, but we're still going strong in school and looking forward to Christmas Break!!!

Date Night

A couple of weeks ago, Bill and I went to Pigeon Forge, a vacation hot spot here in Tennessee. We went to a place called WonderWorks, it looks like an upside down building!!! It's basically a place to be a kid!!! It's really interesting, there's scientific stuff and art stuff and interactive stuff too!! SO FUN! We also went to a dinner show called Hoot'n Holler; that was pretty funny!

This ride just looped around, but to make it move he had to pedal. It was so funny..when it started Bill barely moved, then the lady to him to pedal and he shot off!!

















This was the bubble section...so neat!!! I almost covered myself with this HUGE bubble!















Here's Bill playing a virtual game.
























Bill Lying on a bed of nails!














This is me dancing!!!














Bill and I have been very busy this fall! We're both going to school full time and working. We like getting away once in a while.
I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving, my Aunt Pam wants to go to Dollywood which is just about 45 minutes from Knoxville... So I get to see my family!!! We weren't planning on seeing my family much this year, but luckily they're coming to us!! My Aunt Pam has cancer and we're not sure how much longer she'll be with us. She is a very special person to me and I pray constantly for time to spend with her. So, I really want Thanksgiving to HURRY up and get here so I can see her!
